CCP - "We've heard your demands for more content, and are proud to announce that we will be introducing a new Squad Finder in 1.5!" Correction. CCP - "We've heard your demands (as well as our reviews) to fix the content we already have so that it's function before introducing anything else and are still working on that." Oh - by the way, Squad Finder is part of that social aspect that half of you were bitching about not too long ago  I have to support this. Remember that it's only because CCP had the bejeezus scared out of them that they finally started to focus on the core - players were demanding it and reviews tanked miserably.
They did a good job on the core in 1.3/1.4 but they are nowhere near done. If CCP leaves core mechanics and controls like they are now they can consign themselves to B-grade reviews forever, and DUST will always be classed as 'not quite a real shooter'.
I'm with Aeon, he's right on the money - CCP is filling in infrastructure gaps that need to be filled before DUST can evolve into the MMO it promised to be. Many peeps are bitching at CCP atm about for not delivering on the MMO aspect of the game - well, folks that's what these 'boring' infrastructure upgrades are all about. If CCP stays the course i'd expect real hierarchical voice comms/HUD indicators to show up sooner than later.
Peeps are right in saying that we need new content, but everything in moderation. CCP is being stingy in supplying DUST with the resources it needs to move quickly, believing i suppose that they have the time to waste. In their shoes with november coming i would plan for the worst and hope for the best, which in this case means delivering players some new content.
Imo the cheapest, most leverage-able content is new game modes on existing maps with existing assets. I hope that is what True Grit is hinting at with FW. |
